Overview
Welcome to the next generation of RC shock technology with the Pro-Line Pro-Spec Front/Rear Scaler Shocks designed specifically for rock crawlers and scale rigs. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast exploring the world of RC cars in the UK or a dedicated competitor looking to elevate your crawler's performance, these professional-grade shocks deliver exceptional quality and precision engineering. Pro-Line Racing has engineered these shocks to stand out from the crowd with their striking bright chrome and blue anodising finish, combined with cutting-edge performance features that serious RC hobbyists demand.
These 90mm-95mm scaler shocks represent a significant advancement in RC suspension technology, featuring construction methods and materials that rival full-size vehicle engineering. The shocks come mostly pre-built and ready for oil, making setup straightforward for intermediate to advanced RC modellers. They're perfect for anyone running a super scale rig who wants professional-quality suspension components that deliver both the looks and the performance to match. The inclusive package with extra shock ends allows you to customise your setup for different vehicle requirements, making these shocks incredibly versatile across multiple popular crawler platforms.
RC Model Shop is proud to stock these premium Pro-Line shocks, offering UK-based RC enthusiasts access to genuine, authorised Pro-Line products with expert support. If you're serious about your rock crawler setup and want suspension components that won't compromise on quality, durability or aesthetics, the Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks are an outstanding choice for your next upgrade.
Key Features
- CNC Machined Aluminium Construction — All critical components including shock caps, collars, bodies and bottom caps are precisely CNC machined from aluminium, ensuring exceptional durability, dimensional accuracy and consistency that cannot be achieved through casting or injection moulding alone.
- Hard Chrome Coated Steel Shock Shafts — The shock shafts are manufactured from steel and coated with hard chrome plating, providing superior corrosion resistance, reduced friction during compression and extension, and extended component lifespan even in demanding off-road conditions.
- X-Ring Seals for Smooth, Leak-Free Operation — Unlike standard o-ring seals, these advanced X-ring seals provide smooth, low friction action throughout the shock's travel range whilst preventing fluid leakage, ensuring consistent damping performance across extended use sessions.
- Bright Chrome and Blue Anodised Finish — The distinctive styling with quality anodising creates a professional appearance that enhances the visual impact of your scale rig, making these shocks true show-quality components that perform as beautifully as they look.
- Extended Length Adjustment with Bonus Shock Ends — Each kit includes additional 5mm longer shock ends, allowing you to increase overall shock length and adjust your rig's ride height and suspension geometry to perfectly match your specific vehicle and driving style.
- Dual Rate Springs with Single Rate Option — The shocks ship with dual rate springs tuned for scale performance, and optional single rate springs are available, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune suspension stiffness for different terrain types and driving conditions.
- Pre-Built Design Ready for Oil — Like Pro-Line's extremely popular PowerStroke Shocks, these Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks arrive almost completely assembled, requiring only oil to be added before installation, significantly reducing setup time compared to traditional shock kits.
- 90mm-95mm Scaler Sizing — Designed specifically for 1/10 scale rock crawlers, these shocks measure exactly 90mm at full extension and collapse to approximately 64mm, making them perfectly proportioned for authentic scale crawler aesthetics and fitment on numerous popular platforms.
- Compatible with Multiple Popular Crawler Platforms — These shocks are engineered to fit on many recognised crawler vehicles, offering broad compatibility that makes upgrading your existing rig straightforward without requiring extensive modifications.
- Upper Pivot Balls Included — The package includes replacement upper pivot balls, providing essential spare components and allowing for quick maintenance or adjustments to your shock mounting geometry.
Technical Performance
The Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks represent the pinnacle of 1/10 scale RC suspension engineering, combining materials science, precision manufacturing and suspension tuning expertise into components that deliver measurably superior performance. Every component has been designed to exacting tolerances using computer-controlled machining processes that eliminate the dimensional inconsistencies found in competing products. The CNC machined aluminium bodies and caps provide rigid support structures that resist flexing under load, maintaining consistent damping characteristics throughout the entire range of suspension travel. The hard chrome coated steel shock shafts are manufactured to extremely tight tolerances and then coated to create a surface that is both harder and smoother than standard steel, reducing internal friction and providing extended service life. The X-ring main shaft seals represent a significant step forward from traditional o-ring seals, offering a multi-lobed design that maintains an effective seal throughout the compression and extension cycle whilst minimising friction losses. At full extension, these shocks measure 90mm in overall length, which compresses down to approximately 64mm when fully compressed, giving you a substantial travel range suitable for challenging terrain. The inclusion of additional 5mm longer shock ends allows customisation of the overall length to accommodate different suspension geometry preferences and vehicle setups. Pre-assembled construction with only oil required for completion streamlines the setup process, and the choice between dual rate and single rate springs provides the flexibility needed to optimise suspension compliance for your specific rock crawling environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these shocks suitable for my 1/10 scale rock crawler? — Yes, the Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks are specifically designed for 1/10 scale rock crawlers and are compatible with numerous popular crawler platforms available in the UK RC market. The 90mm-95mm sizing is purpose-built for this scale category.
- What do the extra shock ends do and why would I need them? — The additional 5mm longer shock ends included in the package allow you to extend the overall shock length by 5mm, giving you the flexibility to adjust your suspension geometry, ride height and weight distribution to suit different vehicles or terrain conditions.
- How do X-ring seals compare to standard o-rings? — X-ring seals feature a multi-lobed design that provides superior sealing capability whilst maintaining lower friction than traditional o-rings. This results in smoother shock action, reduced heat generation and better leak prevention throughout the shock's operational life.
- Can I use single rate springs instead of the dual rate springs that come standard? — Yes, optional single rate springs are available for the Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks, allowing you to customise the suspension stiffness based on your preferred driving style and the specific terrain you're tackling.
- What is the collapsed length of these shocks? — When fully compressed, these shocks collapse to approximately 64mm in length, providing a generous range of travel from the 90mm extended length.
- Do I need to assemble these shocks completely? — No, these shocks arrive pre-built and require only shock oil to be added before installation, dramatically reducing the assembly time compared to traditional shock kits that require complete assembly.
- Are replacement parts available for the Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks? — Pro-Line offers comprehensive support for their shock components. Contact RC Model Shop for information on available replacement parts and service components.
- Why should I choose Pro-Spec shocks over budget alternatives? — The Pro-Spec Scaler Shocks feature CNC machined aluminium construction, hard chrome coated steel shafts, advanced X-ring seals and precision engineering throughout. These features combine to deliver superior durability, consistent damping performance, reduced friction and extended service life compared to less expensive alternatives.
